builders administrators nur ses and a doctor who were no doubt more needed than cler gymen there arc elements in the situation here that encourage and some that discourage some that wc would think are help ing god build his kingdom here and others that hold it back one of the encouraging features is the steps being taken by the united church of zambia to be a more responsible church ac cepting bigger responsibility for christs mission to zambia though theyre sometimes pain ful steps and though sometimes two are taken backwards for eviryane forward at least they are taken largely in zambian initiative christians are more nd more realizing that this is in fact their church and that it no longer belongs to the mis sion and the missionary from overseas soma are greatly iiv ming jhirchureh giving which is a sure slgrfoflncrea- sed involvement and response bility in our congregation here come are giving 3 per cent of their income according to a new adopted and they re making weekly or monthly pledges it was felt that ten per cent was too high for peo ple in low income brackets jfor some this giving amounts to over 00 per year but be cause many have not caught a vision of christs church for zambia the average giving is uu mora like 6 a year l that this concern amounting to a preoccupation with establish ing a zambian church is taking all our energies and it is disap pointing how little time and manpower we have left to look outward to be of service to our country and to our communi ties since coming to kaluiushi much of jims time has been taken up leading two groups of prospective lay preachers thro an organized course of bible study one year on old testa ment one year on new this has meant summarizing and translating the text books into i cibcmba these are survey cour ses and very comprehensive really no book of the bible is missed out there are exams at the end of each year and then two trial services and ser mons must be given and evalu ated if a person passes all of these requirements- he is given a certificate as a lay preacher and can conducfserviccs any where in the ucz this is a church wide scheme the point of all this is that most of our preaching is done by laymen on a voluntary basis i have also had my students leading discus sion groupnndr hope that some of them will become sun day school teachers as well out of 20- students 6 are
